Other than nicotine replacement therapy and non nicotine medication, which I mentioned in my earlier posts, hypnosis is getting popular to stop smoking too. This works by inducing a deeply relaxed state and the person is receptive and open to suggestions to strengthen his resolve to quit smoking and to increase negative feelings towards cigarettes. It works very well even though you believe you have a strong will to stop smoking.

To stop smoking, you might need aids on top of will power. In the last post, I have discussed Nicotine Replacement Therapy to Stop Smoking. Here’s let’s talk about non nicotine medication.
2 medications are approved for short term used in smoking cessation programs – bupropion and varenicline. Both are prescription drugs and supposedly helped to reduce cigarette cravings and withdrawal symptoms after you made that important step to stop smoking.
Other than going to doctors, do your own reading and you might be able to learn from people who shared their own experiences openly.

Interesting …. Beijing said it will ban smoking in most public places starting from 1 May. I wondered if this is possible for a nation of 350 million smokers. However, this move is aligned with China’s pledge of a smoke-free Olympics.
Currently, more than 150 Chinese cities already have limited restrictions in place. However, Beijing is the first to ban smoking in ALL restaurants, bars, Internet cafes, hotels, offices, holiday resorts and all indoor areas of medical facilities. Hotels must also have rooms for non-smokers, but the ratio is still being discussed.
Institutions that fail to comply will be slapped with immediate fines of up to 5,000 yuan (USD713). The authorities has not decided how to deal with smokers breaking the new rule. Some restaurant owners, however, doubt the rule will be implemented. Not surprising, smoking is part of a meal for the smoking Chinese.
